The \u00abRegion to Table\u00bb project aims to bring together stakeholders in a region who are committed to agroecological transition. Through a participatory process, they will collectively define an approach to develop and implement solutions together.<\/p>
The target group<\/h2>
The target group for the participatory process includes all actors who wish to contribute to a transformation of the food system. This includes the private sector along the entire food value chain (farmers, processors, distributors, restaurateurs, retailers, consumers) political decision-makers and representatives of municipal and cantonal administrations, environmental and health protection organisations, and other local groups (interest groups, associations, cooperatives, etc.).<\/p>
The process<\/h2>
The first step is to identify relevant stakeholders, initiatives and policy strategies. Next, areas of action are prioritised and concrete solutions developed. To this end, working groups will design projects with systemic impact that multiple stakeholders can support and implement. The process will thus lead to systemic solutions that are backed by a clear implementation plan and secure funding.<\/p>
These systemic solutions may include the participatory development of political strategies (particularly food strategies), the establishment of regional networks (especially food council), the promotion of local markets for regional organic products developing local logistics and processing structures (short supply chains), the promotion of healthy nutrition and sustainable products in public catering, etc. At the same time, stakeholders can develop and implement relatively simple and immediately realisable solutions throughout the entire regional process.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t![\"Portr\u00e4t](\"https:\/\/www.biovision.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Biovision_Johanna_Herrigel-1-768x768.jpg\")
